According to the same sources, Ronaldo’s company was the one who undertook the full coordination of this confrontation, from promoting the match to managing ticket revenues, as the company received 70% of the total ticket income, compared to 30% that went to Al Wahda Club. This distribution reflects the great commercial influence that Ronaldo enjoys, as he is one of the most attractive athletes to audiences around the world.

The Al-Nasr and Al-Wahda match witnessed a remarkable crowd attendance of more than nine thousand spectators, the majority of whom came specifically to watch Ronaldo up close, as his shirts covered the stands of the stadium, whether from Saudi or Arab fans who began to follow him wherever he played.

The attendance was not limited to the seats only, but extended to the vicinity of Al-Wahda Club, as nearby hotels recorded high occupancy rates as a result of the influx of Saudi fans who accompanied the Al-Nasr team and were keen to follow the Portuguese star in this friendly match.
